Plugged Unloading Auger on A85 Gleaner

[farmaholic]

You would think the belt would slip before the chain would tear?

sumdumguy: I talked to the service guy at our MF dealership and he was surprised the shear bolts wouldn't have broken before the chain or idler tore off. Did someone weld that shear protection assembly together? He also mentioned the 07 and 08s had a major auger update after they came out. He said if you provide them with the serial number of the combine they can find out if your combine had it done. WS White's Ag Service, Whitewood. 306-735-2300. These guys have been good to me.

Thanx all, we will keep you posted. We bought it used, so who knows. You know how that goes.

[sumdumguy]

Gonna phone White's right now but don't have a serial number on me. Maybe they will know how to make the thing turn.

can you get a high pressure hose into it?

Probably got some piled up flighting somewhere. God damb old shit. Had my old 1680 apart before. Just a sugestion. If you get your tank empty which you have done restrict the feed from the bottom oftank first after checking e erything else.

[sumdumguy]

We have put high pressire water thrpugh both ends, pne more try and we pull the flighting. Unbelievable that there is no clean out on the auger. Its 2008 not 1928.

Any help at Whitewood?

[Hopperbin]

No warrantee so he has to fix the fn thing himself. Everyone else has dealer warrantee so sol. I hope you figure it out.

If it makes you feel any better I had a neighbour with two new macdons. I was running 15 year olds. He was down for 3 days cause did not know tightening canvass would keep shit out. I run my 15 year olds 24hours a day. His new macdons were sitting plugged up canvasses. Cannot run like that. **** me.
